The
West ham United board have handed manager Alan Curbishley a vote of confidence after a week in which the Hammers suffered three successive 4-0 defeats.
Their dismal week started with a home defeat to ten-man Chelsea, before crashing to heavy losses at both Liverpool and Tottenham.
There are fears that the club's season is drifting to a mediocre conclusion, a similar scenario that Charlton often endured when Curbishley was in charge at The Valley.
A statement on the club's official website read: "The board of West ham recognise that recent results have been disappointing and frustrating for everyone connected to the club," said a statement on the club's official website.
"However, there is no question of Alan Curbishley's future as manager being called into doubt.
"Alan, his staff and the players have done well to put the club into the top half of the table, despite a massive injury list, and they have the full support of the board.
"Of course, there are challenges to be met and further improvements needed to keep the club moving forward.
"The board will work with Alan to ensure that the progress we have made is maintained and built on to deliver success and long-term stability for West ham."
